FPC's point of view or Marco's point of view? Just curious - so what is FPC’s “correct” solution then for using UTF-8 and the preferred encoding? What's the alternative they offer? [rant] ps: Both FPC and Delphi is in such a messed up state when it comes to string and character types. It is the laughing stock of programming languages at the moment. At least EMBT is heading in the right direction with their Linux Delphi compiler - they completely removed AnsiString. FPC and Delphi can learn a huge lesson from Java and Qt in how to handle string and character types.
